The Impact of Supplication on What Is Written in the Preserved Tablet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Ibrahim, says: My question is about du'a' (supplication). Honorable Shaykh, does du'a' have an effect in changing what was written for a person before his creation, such as his provision, marriage, and the affairs of life? And are these things written in the Preserved Tablet?
Answer:
Du'a' is an act, and acts are decreed and written in the Preserved Tablet. So it is part of Allah's qadar (divine decree). If du'a' occurs, it is decreed, and it does not conflict with the decrees of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
